    Idlers vs Direct Drive vs Belt Drive

    I agree with your assessment. When I changed to a .001" seamless Kapton belt the tension became critical. I eventually built a primitive sled with 200 threads per inch screws to adjust the tension. Also critical is the nature of the interface between the belt and the pulley and platter, which...

    Idlers vs Direct Drive vs Belt Drive

    The accuracy of the measurement is only one aspect of measuring speed control. We must also consider how many times per revolution to make the measurement. Feickert and Sutherland only measure once per revolution, ie, once every 1.8 seconds. Grand Prix, according to the info posted earlier...

    Let's Get A Consensus Of The Best DAC's In The Market Today

    Hi Bruce, What do you think of the Lavry Gold DA924 compared to your top 10? I use one in my system alongwith an AD-122-96 Mk III (for analog sources) and Dirac Live. You are probably the only one here who has heard these!

    Is balanced power safe? I'd love to get set straight on this- I don't think so

    The other thing to remember is that even if you turn your component off using its own power switch or a power strip the neutral side will most likely still be energized with 60V. This is because on/off switches, from my experience, only lift the connection to the hot line. This is also true at...

    Auto Desk System Record Cleaner

    I had the same problem. There is an adjustment for the engagement of the front and rear rollers. If you contact The Cable Company (the distributors) they can send you details. It is a one minute fix. I have had my unit for some two years and 1000+ cleanings. Some other observations: the white...
